Miers unlikely to 'evolve'

Stop falling back on her church, it's a really discredited tactic.

Merely an observation, you don't like? Too bad.

But while we are critiquing the debate why don't you stop lying. Truth tends to elevate the debate.

Post #59. You didn't do it, unShapka. In subsequent posts, there really wasn't any need to ping the Freeper in question, as she's already been pinged to the thread. It's that initial post...stealth snottiness. Cowardly, lazy or snotty, I don't care which, it is all disgusting behavior. As I said, I've been seeing it a lot lately...it is the kind of behavior that rears its ugly head whenever there is a major disagreement on the board, and it's not as if the Miers tap is the first disagreement of that nature.

You know what's even stupider? Read the whole thread...there are maybe three or four posts of actual discussion and another 75 variations of "Well you're just a Bush-bashing liberal!" or "Oh yeah, well you're a koolaid drinking Bushbot, you are!" It's so pathetic. Thank God I am realizing just how pathetic, because now I am laughing about it instead of letting it get to me.

FWIW, I do not like the choice of Miers, and not because of anything that the calorically-challenged Ann Coulter has said. I worked my ass off as a precinct chair for the President's reelection because I knew SCOTUS was up for grabs. I fully expected a Scalia/Thomas. Miers isn't just in a different ballpark; she's playing a different sport. And this is no time for games, anyway.

I have to laugh...

[Cyber Liberty]

What's up with that, anyway?

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

You're right about that.

It's a very disappointing choice.

:(

No kidding. What this appointment says is, "NEVER issue a conservative judgment, because it will forever outlaw you from being promoted to a higher court."

And don't even get a subscription to National Review in your own name. Either buy it on the street or put the subscription in your siblings name.

OTR?

[Cyber Liberty]

It's a vulgar reference....

[TSchmereL]

Oh, shit. I had it on my clipboard and I used it as a bump. What the hell does it mean?

[Cyber Liberty]

Um...similar to PMS.

She may be unlikely to 'evolve', but as Maxine Watersa (I think it was) would observe, she may just turn 360 degrees, you'll see!

Luttig, Brown, Owen, Alito, Wilkenson, McConnell, Gaza, Brown, et. al.

Thanks for the hyper link, but I believe I can scroll back to the post.

I've never seen anything like it about a nominee from their own paty.

Ditto, I remain in shock at what I consider to be the absolute childish pettiness of some on our side.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

I guess what amazes me about all of this is, and pardon me if I missed it from you earlier. But, did you or do you have the same feelings about Judge Roberts when he was nominated to be Chief Justice? The fact that his nomination passed with such apparent ease would make me think that he is as much of a moderate as Ms. Miers.

Don't post a picture of a Howler monkey, or any monkey, in this context again. Thank you, and I'm serious.
